Description:
Pair of fine & rare lounge chairs, Style # B-21-1, by the Danish studio of Bjarne Madsen & Hans Thyge Schubell, created for George Tanier, the foremost U.S. importer of high-end Danish furniture in the 1950s/60s. After his success in 1946 with the fine store Swedish Modern, Mr. Tanier leased a floor in the Georg Jensen building in New York in 1949 and opened a business under his own name to introduce top Danish furniture to the North American market, including the work of Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Borge Mogensen, and others. By the mid-1950s, he was commissioning designs exclusive to his line. We believe these rare chairs to be examples of that trend. Literature: 1960 George Tanier catalog, page 177 ; c. 1960 (Key Word Search: Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, Danish Modern, Scandinavian)
